Tommaso Baldanzi and Kingsley Ehizibue decided Genoa vs Juventus before Juventus could settle at Marassi. Genoa won 2-0 on 2026-10-28, with Ehizibue scoring in the 12th minute from Baldanzi's assist and Baldanzi adding the second in the 28th after a turnover and solo run from Vitinha.

Baldanzi's all-round night

Baldanzi was the standout, finishing with an 8.95 rating, the highest on the pitch. He also ended with one goal and one assist, and those two actions framed the result more than anything Juventus produced.

Kingsley Ehizibue was close behind at 7.57, which fits the eye test. His early finish gave Genoa the lead, and his contribution was not a one-moment story. Genoa's best players set the tone from the first quarter of the match.

Juventus never found a response

Juventus were missing Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli, Nico Gonzalez, Zeki Celik, Francisco Conceicao, Jeff Ekhator and Kamil Grabara. Nick Woltemade started on the bench and came on at half-time, but the changes did not alter the flow.

The margin could have been wider because Genoa looked cleaner in both boxes. Sky Sport Italia reported Genoa moving up to 10 in the table, while the verified standings still had them on 16th with 7 points. After this win, the result is the part that counts most, and Genoa will take the points from a night when Baldanzi and Ehizibue did the damage.
